Two Simple Questions

[Docilemouse]

I have Some refreshingly easy questions to ask. First, I've heard that Arrays and Ini files can slowdown your game if they get really big. What I need to know is: Will this slowdown occur constantly, or only when data is being written to, or drawn from the Array/Ini?

Sencond question: How do you make Folders to store objects in the object list sidebar?

1. You heard wrong. There are no slowdowns using array or ini. They are a valid and professional solutions to store data permanently on the harddrive. Maybe someone always looped events to them, so that would slow down everything. But that is not the problem of those objects, it's the coders problem.

2. Rightclick on the Frame in the Workspace Toolbar on the left side, and click on New Folder. Or select the Frame in the Workspace Toolbar and go to the Menubar and choose "Insert" -> "New Folder".

I have a 40x200x3 array for my game with no slowdowns at all. I just load the variables at start, and save em at frame end.

Wow... A 40x200x3 array... Lol I was worried, and mine was only going to be about 10x20x3. Thanks for the answers.
